I would like to input data into splunk at a specific time every day (e.g interval = 45 0 * * *), but I find it is totally not working. If my syntax is not correct or it's a bug. If anyone try it on Splunk 6.4. Thanks.

The cron syntax you need to use is:

interval = 45 0 * * * 

There are five values

Could you post the complete contents of your inputs.conf file. Also be sure that the script you want to run has the appropiate permissions

I'm with gfuente. Can you please add full contents of the inputs.conf?

By the way, according to inputs.conf.spec file, interval attribute works only for scripted input.
Are you using either one of them?

I need to set the schedule in DB connect input, so "interval" is what I need to setup. I will try to add the schedule into inputs.conf directly and take a look. Thanks.
